Finally, past time to update this page.

Ubiquitous larvae I cannot rear, who will help?

#1 Noctuidae, on various plants, I think they're the same species
Goldenrods, Solidago spp:


Gray-headed coneflower, Ratibida pinnata


Oxeye false sunflower, Heliopsis helianthoides:


#2
Larva in Prairie Brome, Bromus kalmii:

I may feed on other grasses as well.

#3
Tortricidae, Goldenrod leaftier/Designer Lep
It's got to be common but don't know it until someone rears it. Please.


#4
Associated with seeds of Blazing star, Liatris spp.




I have much to learn. Many thanks to all of you.
